eero is seeking a Principal Commodity Manager to own commodity strategy for a portfolio of Electrical Engineering (EE) components supporting the eero product line - including WiFi mesh systems, routers, and related connected home devices.
This is a senior role within a larger commodity management organization. You will bring deep expertise in EE commodity markets, strong commercial acumen, and the ability to influence across engineering, supply chain, finance, and executive leadership - defining and executing sourcing strategies that directly affect eero's product cost structure, supply resilience, and speed to market.
Key job responsibilities
- Own the sourcing strategy for an assigned portfolio of EE commodities supporting eero products which will span areas such as semiconductors, passive components, interconnects, PCBs, or other electrical categories.
- Develop and execute multi-year sourcing strategies that deliver year-over-year cost reductions, supply assurance, and technology alignment with eero's product roadmap.
- Lead should-cost modeling and teardown analysis to build detailed bottom-up cost models, challenge supplier pricing, and identify structural cost reduction opportunities across the assigned bill of materials.
- Negotiate complex commercial agreements spanning hardware component supply, associated firmware/software licensing, IP licensing, SDK access, and development tool agreements with semiconductor and technology vendors.
- Analyze supplier cost structures and competitive landscapes using data-driven methodologies to benchmark pricing, identify leverage points, and build negotiation strategies grounded in total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Track EE commodity markets, technology roadmaps, and supply/demand dynamics - translating market intelligence into proactive sourcing decisions and risk mitigation plans.
- Develop and execute risk buy strategies, building business cases and obtaining executive approval for strategic inventory positions where lead times or market conditions warrant.
- Partner with Hardware Engineering on component and supplier selection for new programs, alternative source qualification, and design-for-cost initiatives starting at the architecture phase.
- Drive NPI sourcing execution - collaborating with engineering, manufacturing, and operations to transition new products from EVT/DVT/PVT through mass production ramp.
- Manage end-of-life (EOL) and ramp-down planning, coordinating last-time buys and inventory drawdown to minimize excess and obsolescence exposure.
- Support engineering change management - tracking ECOs, qualifying changes with suppliers, and managing associated NRE investments.
- Influence cross-functional priorities across supply chain, finance, engineering, and product management - operating as the commercial authority for assigned EE commodities.
- Collaborate with peer commodity managers on the broader team to align sourcing strategies, share supplier intelligence, and drive consistency in commercial terms and negotiation approaches.
- Mentor and develop junior commodity managers and sourcing professionals on the team.
